Southern expressionism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

This movement does not appear to have achieved any widespread recognition. There are only 44 google hits, including wikipedia ones.[1] Only one of the artists listed in it has their own wiki article (which does not mention the movement). The others have links to external sites, e.g. Chris Cook, where the wiki article is quoted.[2] The external links to museums do not reveal a mention of the movement. There are references given to three books, but no inline citations and no evidence the books contain any significant material about Southern expressionism.

• Delete While there are artists of note who are from the South and who are expressionists they aren't connected to this article. Modernist 03:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. No inline source citations for any of this, and at least one of the listed references at the end doesn't contain a word about this so-called "Southern Expressionism". I doubt the others do either. This is seemingly a contrived excuse to promote this Catherine Clark Ellis person. wikipediatrix 03:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom et al. For some reason I thought this would be an article filled with phrases like "Kiss my grits" and "Happier than a dog up a bone tree". --Evb-wiki 13:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete apart, perhaps, from this [3], all roads lead back to WP on the ghits, or to the German version, which could be referenced much better. Johnbod 17:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
